From New York to Copenhagen, Philip Seerup carried the service.

The idea for Service Projects came to Philip Seerup while walking through New York in 2022. Spending time with chef friends, he noticed their kitchens swore by stainless steel—strong, functional, built to last. Yet, it was rarely seen on home tables. He decided to invite it in. Now based in Copenhagen, he designs glasses, cutlery, pepper mills, and ice cream bowls, borrowing as much from French bistros as from Japanese izakayas and Italian osterias.

The idea came to him while walking through New York. Philip Seerup, spending time with chef friends, noticed the objects they used without a second thought: stainless steel trays, plates, and utensils, chosen because they withstand the rush, the drops, and the years. Why, he wondered, does this tableware, so familiar in professional kitchens, so rarely cross the threshold of our homes? Service Projects was born in New York in late 2022 with this very premise, before following its founder back to Copenhagen. Since then, Philip has curated his collections like a travel diary: a French bistro here, a Japanese izakaya there, an Italian osteria, or a Danish counter. The objects intentionally retain their utilitarian soul: the Ice Cream Cup, designed with Laura Bilde, is just as comfortable holding a scoop of gelato as it is olives for an aperitif. The stainless steel scratches and patinas over time, rather than being precious and preserved.
